Master class in object theatre with Agnès Limbos
Every day, from 10 am to 6pm
Presentation House Theatre
In partnership with Kleine Compagnie
A flagship figure in object theatre, Agnès Limbos will offer a workshop to develop the particular universes which may arise from bringing together actors and objects.
Through your imagination, your curiosity and your know-how, and a series of exercises, individual or collective improvisations, we will explore this particular and singular theatre where the object is manipulated in front of the audience and the actor is placed at the center of the space.
10 spots are available: register by email at info@kleinecompagnie.com
In French only.
Malaise dans la civilisation
France Perras decided that before she turned 52, she would be alone on stage.
With her words.
Her self.
All alone, like a grown-up.
Halfway between a lecture and a performance, the actress tackles her fears and taboos. Practicing “The art of discomfort”, she proposes a reflection on presence, a quality too often neglected in this ultra-connected world. France invites you to a first working stage of her creative project, and invites you to discuss her research and artistic approach with her.
Meeting in French, subject to registration and space availability. Registration form here.

Our goal
Through our cultural outreach activities, we strive to connect the social and the cultural and create links between culture and the public space.
We align with the vision of Culture pour tous: Outreach creates privileged meeting places between artists and citizens, thus promoting interpersonal exchange, learning, and engagement. It can also help reduce psychological and social barriers surrounding the exclusion of targeted groups.
Language and access
At Théâtre la Seizième, we are committed to making the works and cultural productions we program accessible to as many people as possible.
Most of our activities and meetings will be held in French but some of them will be bilingual.
